What is the proposed idea/solution? ...For a Table with one or more Synced Tables, allow the User to Add Records. Options include Adding Records to the Current Table OR selecting a Synced Table to Add Records (must pick one table). How does is solve the user problems? ...In order to Add Records to one or more Synced Tables, the User must navigate away from the current Base to the Synced Table to add the Record, then navigate back to the Synced Table. This is information is hard to find in the User Interface since it is burred in the Table Drop Down > Update Sync Configuration Dialogue Box. Who is the target audience? ...All Users of Synced Tables that would like to add New Records.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Allow the User to "Add Records From" a Table within the current base. How does is solve the user problems? ...In order to bring together data from multiple Tables, they each need to exist in separate Base outside of the current Base. Without this feature, the User must create multiple Bases in order to combine multiple Tables into one Table. Who is the target audience? ...Every user who Syncs multiple Tables or wants to combine multiple Tables into one.

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Allow copy and pasting "Options" and "Colors" from one Single Select or Multi-Select Field to another. How does is solve the user problems? ...Users have to manually enter "Options" and "Colors" for each Single Select or Multi-Select Field currently. This can be extremely time consuming and prone to human error, that can affect Multi-Syncs. Who is the target audience? ...All Users of "Single Select" or "Multi-Select Fields" across multiple Tables and / or Bases

What is the proposed idea/solution? ...Rather than having to manually type in the potential options for a Single Select or Multi-Select Field, the User can Sync a Table with standardized options. How does is solve the user problems? ...This would greatly speed up standardizing Single Select and Multi-Select options across many Tables and Bases. Who is the target audience? ...All Users of "Single Select" or "Multi-Select Fields" across multiple Tables and / or Bases

I want to build a database and give selective access for users to view and update certain records and fields. I don’t want to give them full access to the whole base, for privacy reasons and to prevent people from getting confused and making changes in the wrong places. Right now it seems like it’s all of nothing, but I’m not sure. The View Only and Form modes don’t work for me, as this doesn’t let people view the relevant data on a particular record, and update notes and specific information about that particular record. Is there a way to create a view and only share that view and all of its non-hidden fields for editing? If not, please add that feature! Or airtable will no longer work for our purposes. Thank you!

In working with the Organization Chart Block, it would be really neat if we could just embed the block dashboard view instead of having to have the entire base embedded in a website. It would help our site look a lot cleaner. Thanks!

Requesting an actual field type for tasks. I’m working around this with the long text field by adding checkbox bullets but I can’t see how many complete vs incomplete tasks I have without expanding every single long text field. Trellos Checklists - I love trello’s checklists because you can do a single paste and trello will recognize and convert each item into its own checklist item. for example: this is my first task this is my second task this is my third task hit “ENTER” automatically turns into: SmartSuite cannot recognize the multiple lines and split into multiple tasks yet but they still have a checklist field that shows a running total of completed vs incomplete tasks at a glance. Very cool feature. anyone else find value in the checklist field?

In the View pane, the little gear in the search bar (above) grants the option of filtering out everyone's personal views—is there a way an option can be added to show only views that are being synced and/or shared? And maybe even something that gives people the option to exclude synced views from the list. Or maybe include a little indicator (a little pink asterisk or icon to match the "Share and sync" menu in the topbar, perhaps) next to View names? We have a lot of views and having a way to quickly see the views from which data is flowing out would be helpful. Right now I believe this kind of functionality is only available in the Share menu, which to me doesn't feel as intuitive and hampers visibility.

I paid for the pro version specifically for this feature and the fact that it wastes my prospects time by saying “you will be redirected in a few seconds to xyz url” makes this feature almost redundant because I don’t want people dropping off before they’re tagged on the next page with my facebook/google tracking pixels so I will have to use another software like typeform or jotform just because of this…

A very useful feature to have would be the ability to “drill-down” another level when working with Look-Up fields. We use AirTable to manage our company E-mail accounts and Distribution Lists (Distribution Lists are email addresses that contain members and distribute messages to all who are assigned to it, i.e. info@company.com can go to John, Mary, and Paul). Here is the basic set-up between 3 tables: Table PEOPLE contains a list of all employees, and links to EMAIL which contains all email addresses (including distribution lists) Table EMAIL links to DIST LISTS DIST LISTS contains a lookup field to list the names of people on each distribution list. I am running into this problem: because a distribution list’s members can contain OTHER distribution lists, I cannot get a comprehensive list of all members wherever this happens (which is often). For example (using arbitrary email addresses)… say "info@company.com" has 2 members: john.doe@company.com and hr@company.com "hr@company.com" has 2 members: jane.doe@company.com and jim.doe@company.com. The lookup field will only give me “John Doe” as a name as it doesn’t drill-down another layer to lookup the names under hr@company.com. I managed to set-up a second level of “Sub-Members” with some linking (a bit too complicated to explain here), but it would be so helpful to have the ability to look-up a second layer. I know this sounds complicated - I did my best to try and explain in the most simple way I could!
